It was a village that couldn't be any more ordinary, and there were numerous simple and crude cottages that were next to each other. Smoke curled up from the wind, and occasionally, the sound of children playing could be heard. It was like a tranquil and peaceful pure land.
This place was far away from Hot City, far away from all the killing, and far away from all the worldly disputes.
In a relatively large courtyard, a rather charming middle-aged woman was sitting on a bench, fiddling with something with her head down.
After a while, she raised her head and revealed a charming smile. She called out to the house, "Daddy, come out quickly. See if Xiao Hua's bowknot is pretty!"
A middle-aged woman spoke with the tone of a fourteen or fifteen year old child, making people feel that it was very strange.
A deep voice came from the house, "Littleflower, I'm coming!"
It wasn't an old man who walked out of the house, but a burly middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man had sharp features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. There was a hideous knife scar on the left side of his face, giving off a resolute and unyielding aura.
The muscles all over his body bulged, giving people the feeling that they were filled with incomparable explosive power. On his two steel-like arms, green veins stretched out like snakes, giving people the same feeling of strength. His rough palms were covered with calluses, obviously caused by holding heavy objects for a long time.
The two of them were clearly middle-aged, but the woman called the man "daddy". This contrast was a little confusing.
The middle-aged man looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him tenderly, mixed with a bit of sadness. It didn't look like a father looking at his daughter, but more like a husband looking at his wife.
"Xiao Hua's bowknot is so beautiful!" The middle-aged man took the simple grass-like thing from the middle-aged woman's hands and praised.
"I knew I was good. I'll make some more later. It'll be nice to have them dance in the courtyard," the middle-aged woman said with a look of intoxication.
The middle-aged man's expression was a little sad, but he still forced a smile and nodded, "As long as you like it, you can make as many as you want."
Actually, the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman weren't father and daughter.
After all, they were a real couple!
All of this was due to fate making a fool out of them, allowing them to continue living like this.
The middle-aged man was called Du Tie, and the middle-aged woman was called Song Minghua. Looking at their temperament, no one would think that they were ordinary commoners. They had lived here in seclusion for a hundred years.
"Daddy, you're so good to your daughter!" the middle-aged woman said happily.
The middle-aged man said bitterly, "Xiao Hua, can you not call me daddy?"
"Why? You're clearly my daddy. Daddy, do you dislike your daughter for being naughty?"
As the middle-aged woman spoke, her eyes became a little teary, making people feel pity for her.
The middle-aged man said with a pained expression, "No … Sigh … Whatever."
"Dad, are you unhappy about something? Why do you keep saying things like that? If that's the case, I'll be very sad." The middle-aged woman pulled on her husband's sleeve coquettishly.
Just as the middle-aged man was about to say something, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He said in a deep voice, "Xiao Hua, quickly go into the house. Don't leave the house before I come back."
As he finished speaking, his aura suddenly soared and he immediately flew towards a direction at high speed.
Outside the village, he shouted in a deep voice, "Since you're here, come out. Why hide your head and show your tail?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect your Scrap Iron Hand to have some ability. You can actually detect our arrival!" A cold voice sounded, and then many figures flew out from a hidden direction.
There were a total of fifteen people, including two Mystic Thearchs and thirteen Heavenly Venerables. They were all wearing the same clothes, and it seemed that they belonged to the same faction.
"You're really haunting us. We've been hiding for so many years. Are you really going to kill us?" Du Tie said with a wooden face.
The person who spoke just now stood up and stared at Du Tie. "It's really hard to find you guys hiding in such a remote place. However, this day next year will be your death anniversary."
Suddenly, Du Tie laughed wildly. "How hateful! Come, back then your brother couldn't kill me and was killed by me. I wonder what you can do to me today!"
After saying that, a red giant axe appeared in his hand.
This giant axe was extremely overbearing, and the image of a ferocious beast roared out, its aura shocking all directions.
Shockingly, this was a weapon that had reached the Half-Saint level.
In addition, a huge fire tiger appeared beside Du Tie. Its aura was incomparably majestic and frightening. The tiger's roar caused hundreds of birds to fly away in all directions, and the villagers were panicking.
Seeing this weapon, the expressions of the two Mystic Thearchs became greedy.
These two Mystic Thearchs were called Rong Xu and Shi Binguang. They were both low-level Mystic Thearchs, and the one who had been talking to Du Tie was Rong Xu.
The group of people also took out their weapons and summoned their spirit beasts, surrounding Du Tie.
"Come, I'll kill to my heart's content today!"
Du Tie seemed to have become ferocious. His eyes were red with anger as he roared. He raised the giant axe in his hand and chopped towards Rong Xu.
Rays of axe light brought with them an incomparably strong flame, giving people an incomparably oppressive feeling.
His fire tiger did not mind it either. Following Du Tie's attack, it also pounced forward to deal with the spirit beasts brought by the other party.
Rong Xu and Shi Binguang also exploded with a strong aura as they went towards Du Tie.
For a moment, there was an earth-shaking rumbling sound in the vicinity. The trees and flowers were all affected and turned into fine powder.
In a village not far away, the villagers seemed to have sensed the disaster and screamed. They abandoned their homes and fled far away, hoping that they would not be affected by this disaster.
Song Minghua, who was in the house, also felt the strong fluctuations, and her heart was inexplicably in a mess.
"Could it be … something happened to Daddy?" Although Song Minghua's mind was in a mess, she still had emotions.
She hesitated for a moment, but still decided to walk out of the house and flew out of the village.
Don't look at her weak appearance, she actually has extraordinary strength.
She saw Du Tie being surrounded from afar and shouted angrily, "You bad people, why are you attacking my Daddy? I'll fight it out with you!"
After Song Minghua said that, she actually raised her pink fist and smashed it towards one of the Celestial Venerables.
She actually did not know how to use the strength that she displayed, nor did she have any moves to speak of. At best, it was just like some flowery but impractical moves.
When Du Tie heard Song Minghua's voice, he somewhat lost control of his mind. He shouted without turning his head, "Little Hua, quickly run … quickly run!"
Rong Xu obviously knew Song Minghua and immediately shouted, "Catch that woman for me!"
Du Tie was very concerned about Song Minghua. He roared and deduced a large amount of World Power. His fist fire axe forced Rong Xu and Shi Binguang away, and he wanted to fly towards Song Minghua and take her away.
However, how could Rong Xu and Shi Binguang allow him to escape so easily? The two of them used all their strength to smash Du Tie's World Power, restraining his movements.
Du Tie actually disregarded everything and risked his own injuries to go and rescue Song Minghua.
Pfft!
Du Tie was attacked from both sides, and he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood from the powerful attribute attacks. He had already suffered internal injuries, but he finally broke through the attack of the two of them.
However, he was still a step too late. Song Minghua's neck had already been grabbed by one of the Celestial Venerables, and he threatened him, "Don't come over, or I'll kill her!"
Du Tie forcibly stopped and shouted at the Celestial Venerables, "If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I'll destroy your family!"
Unfortunately, as soon as he said that, two powerful auras enveloped him at the same time.
Boom!
Du Tie was smashed into the ground by the two powerful attribute attacks, leaving only a bottomless pit.
"Haha, now I can finally avenge my brother!" Rong Xu looked down at the deep pit and laughed.
Shi Binguang said, "He shouldn't die so easily!"
Rong Xu said, "I know he's not dead yet, but with this bitch here, are you afraid that he won't give in?"
At the same time, he flew in front of Song Minghua, who was caught, and grabbed Song Minghua's hair. He said ferociously, "Damn bitch, if it wasn't for you, my brother wouldn't have died!"
Whoosh!
Below the deep pit, a figure quickly flew out. It was Du Tie, who had been blasted to the ground just now.
He was in a sorry state now, and there were many cracks on the high-level armor on his body. There were many bloodstains all over his body, and it was obvious that he was already injured.
"Let go of her, you can do whatever you want to me!" Du Tie said with a determined look.
Even if he died, he didn't want to see Song Minghua get hurt at all.
"Father … Are you okay, you bad guys, let go …" Song Minghua looked at the injured Du Tie and cried out with tears streaming down her face.
Slap!
Before she could finish her words, Rong Xu slapped her face hard, causing blood to flow from the corner of her mouth.
"Haha, you bitch, your injuries from back then haven't healed yet. He's not your father, he's your man!" Rong Xu laughed very straightforwardly.
Du Tie clenched his fists, and his eyes were red with anger. He shouted, "Damn it, don't hit her, if you want to hit her, come at me!"
"Hehe, don't worry, I won't kill her. I'll let you see your good 'daughter' get gang-raped," Rong Xu said with a lewd look, and then said to the Celestial Master he brought, "This woman is for you to play with, do whatever you want …"
"You bastard, I'll kill you!" Du Tie roared with a flushed face, and raised his giant axe to chop at Rong Xu.
However, Rong Xu was one step ahead and grabbed Song Minghua in his hand, facing Du Tie's attack. "Chop her if you have the ability!"
Du Tie was forced to stop once again, and Shi Binguang suddenly attacked from the side, slashing fiercely at Du Tie's back.
Shi Binguang didn't intend to let it go just like that, and his sword moves became more and more fierce, as if he would only be satisfied after cutting Du Tie into pieces.
It was also at this time that a disdainful voice sounded, "Bullying the few with numbers, and bullying a woman, you really aren't men!"
